Fall morning

After a day of sitting around in semi gloom due to the rain and clouds of yesterday seeing the sunlight this morning promted the desire to head out on a walk before breakfast.
Straight up Broadway to Central Park- it was such a lovely clear morning although beginning to become a little steamy. But that made it perfect for photos in the park.

The light filtering through the trees and the steamy haze of the damp warmed air- wonderful!

It was time to just stop and look and enjoy and try to capture the lovely shades of green and white light against the shadowy trunks.

I walked across the 59th St end of the park and in the process passed the Jose Marti statue which had a wreath at the base of the plinth.

"Those who have you O Liberty do not know you.

Those who do not have you should not speak of you but win you"

Jose Marti was a leader of the Cuban independence movement as well as an esteemed poet and writer. He is revered as a great national hero.

There was a lot of rain yesterday which hasn't completely dried up and left wonderful puddles and images of the city on the footpaths/pavements.


I walked back down 5th Avenue enjoying the clear footpaths and the opportunity to really see the displays in windows without the inconvenience of crowds! The Bergdorf Goodman windows have themes of silver and black and some great silver antiques.
